Football

The week West Point announced that the youngest football coach in its history --2nd Lieutenant Garrison Davidson, Class of 1927--would replace Major Ralph Sasse at the end of the season, Army had its first major game of the year, against Pittsburgh. A 54-yd. run by Pitt's Left Halfback Warren Heller gave Pitt six points; a monster pass, Heller to Skladany, gave Pitt six more. Army got started toward the end of the half. Kilday bunted through Pitt's massive line for one touchdown; Fields, stopped three times on Pitt's 2-yd. line, went around end for a second, to tie the score. The smallest man on the Army squad, Dropkicker Charles Broshous, ran in to put his team a point ahead.

In a game of many climaxes, that was only the beginning. Pitt received the kick-off and a long pass, Weinstock to Heller, made a touchdown. In the last quarter, Army's passes, mostly caught by Felix Vidal, brought Army to Pitt's 12-yd. line. Pitt took the ball on downs. Pitt's victory, 18 to 13, left it facing one of the hardest schedules in the East with a chance for the U. S. championship.

With its captain and fullback, Nollie ("Papa'') Felts, permanently barred from varsity athletics because he once played professional baseball, Tulane, threatening to leave the Southern Conference at the season's end, managed to tie Vanderbilt in the rain, 6 to 6.

Against Ohio State, in the Western Conference's big game of the week, Michigan's Harry Newman threw the kind of passes that fooled Northwestern and Michigan State. Everhardus caught one in the first quarter; Captain Williamson caught one in the second, both for touchdowns. Newman place-kicked the goals. Michigan 14, Ohio State 0. Fifty-five thousand people watched Southern California go scoreless for 55 minutes against Loyola, at Los Angeles. Then Warburton, Southern California's substitute quarterback, made the touchdown that won, 6 to 0.

Princeton proved what people had begun to suspect--that it has finally found a football team--with a 0 to 0 tie against Cornell. It might have been a Princeton victory if Left End Ken Fairman, with a clear field and head start, had not juggled and dropped a forward pass from Kadlic in the last quarter.

Yale, still waiting to win a game this season, got within one foot of Brown's goal line in the last quarter, lost the ball on downs. Rather than risk a touchdown, Brown's Halfback Chase scored the safety that gave Yale 2 points to Brown's 7.

Notre Dame, using four backfields and three lines, scored more than a point a minute against Drake, 62 to 0.

In a driving rain at Birmingham, Alabama's John Cain and Tennessee's Beattie Feathers had a punting duel. Cain's kicks averaged 48 yards to Feathers' 43. but he made one bad one, behind his own goal line. Tennessee took the ball on the 11-yd. line and Feathers carried it across for Tennessee's touchdown, 7 to 3.

Chicago's 70-year-old coach, Amos Alonzo Stagg, disgruntled by a university ruling that he must retire at the end of the season, said he was "frankly, not content to do it." He predicted for himself 15 more years of active coaching, then watched Chicago score three times in the last period to beat Knox, 20 to 0.

Kansas, under its new coach, Ad Lindsey, smothered Iowa State, 26 to 0.

Pardonner of Purdue drop-kicked the point after touchdown that settled Wisconsin, 7 to 6.

Two long runs by Pennsylvania Backs Masavage and Collis made the touchdowns that surprised Dartmouth, 14 to 7.

On a wet slippery field at Athens, Georgia and North Carolina slithered into a sloppy tie, 6 to 6.
